Remember that even if p x has even degree, it is not necessarily an even function. Likewise, if p x has odd degree, it is not necessarily an odd function. We also use the terms even and odd to describe roots of polynomials. All polynomials have the same domain which consists of all real numbers.
The range of odd degree polynomials also consists of all real numbers. The range of even degree polynomials is a bit more complicated and we cannot explicitly state the range of all even degree polynomials. On the other hand, even degree polynomials with negative leading coefficient. In general, it is not possible to analytically determine the maxima or minima of polynomials. In the next section you will learn polynomial division, a technique used to find the roots of polynomial functions.
Degree of the polynomial. Note of Caution It is important to realize the difference between even and odd functions and even and odd degree polynomials.

Steven Stadnicki Steven Stadnicki The WP link to septic equation does mention heptimic and septimic I like the sound of 'octavic', I have to admit, but it brings to mind music much more than mathemtics Searching for "octavic" brings up this book "the inscribed quartics hvae eight nodes on the octavic curve By this, we really mean four different formulas each of which gives one root of the equation.
The formulas for the roots of a general quartic are listed and derived there. Fourth degree polynomials are also known as quartic polynomials. Quartics have these characteristics: Zero to four roots. The power of any term in a polynomial should be a non negetive integer.
